Whatโ€™s going on here? ๐Ÿ‘€ Privacy researcher focused on secure enclaves has vanished. As Matthew Green is on BlueSky said: itโ€™ll be framed as โ€œespionageโ€ or โ€œfraudโ€โ€”but being fired, scrubbed from IU, and now missing points to something deeply wrong with the legal and civil process.

โ€œFor more than two decades, surveillance towers at the border have proven to be a boondoggle, and adding AI isnโ€™t going to make it any less of a boondoggle โ€” it will just be an AI-powered boondoggle,โ€ EFFโ€™s @Maassive told @TheIntercept. theintercept.com/2025/04/03/gooโ€ฆ

what a lovely guy... be careful discussing AI without making the distinctions between use cases and the people behind it. Also we all need to think carefully about what data we are giving away and how its being used.

We have to stop putting a price tag on everything. "When an AI simulates or serves in a care-based role, like friend or romantic partner, but ultimately the user knows she is paying a fee for this relational โ€œserviceโ€ โ€” how will that affect her feelings and expectations?"
